(www.Clickable.com), the first Web service to make creating and managing online advertising simple and effective, announced today that Preston Green has joined the company as vice president of customer experience. Green will manage customer operations, set quality and service standards and ensure an unprecedented search-advertising experience for Clickable’s growing customer base of small- and mid-size marketers.
"Preston is a renowned veteran in building large, scalable online advertising solutions and customer-operations teams,” said David S. Kidder, Clickable Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. “His knowledge of small and midsize advertisers, along with deep expertise in search, will bolster Clickable’s forthcoming launch and ongoing innovation. His passion and customer focus will ensure Clickable achieves the highest levels of advertiser engagement and satisfaction."
Most recently, Green led the editorial-operations team at Microsoft’s adCenter dedicated to improving ad quality and customer experience for some of the world’s largest advertisers. Prior to Microsoft, Green spent 10 years at AOL where he established several operations groups within AOL Europe and AOL Latin America, spanning 11 countries. As director for AOL Interactive Marketing, Green led advertising operations during AOL’s early and rapid growth.
"I’ve seen many exciting innovations in online advertising over the past 10 years, but it’s astonishing how growing complexity is frustrating and disadvantaging small- and mid-size marketers,” said Green. “Clickable solves this paradox by bringing together all the major search ad networks into one simple and intuitive experience. The result is an empowering and transformational experience for customers, whereby they realize massive productivity gains, superior performance, and a truly enjoyable experience which helps them mature."
Clickable is based in New York, and venture backed by Union Square Ventures and Pequot Ventures. Strategic individual investors include Peter Thiel, Managing Partner of The Founders Fund and Co-founder of PayPal, and Jonathan F. Miller, former America Online Chairman and Chief Executive.
